{Thailand Day 4, Chiang Mai}

On Sunday we went to the LDS church that was about 10-15 minutes away from our resort. We were able to use headphones as the missionaries translated what the speakers were saying. It was fun attending Sacrament in a foreign church and language. We love it. Pretty sure we will serve a mission together in some foreign country. :)
 After that we headed to Tiget Kingdom. Prepare your eyes for what you are about to see!
 We went int with the baby tigers. We got to cuddle them and pet them. I think half were asleep while the other half were awake. They are very sleepy things. I was in HEAVEN cuddling a tiger.


 This one wanted to play with shane. Anytime they tried to play, the trainers would tap their noses and wouldn't let them play with us. We really wanted to play , but they said if they allowed it then when they get older and decide to do that it would be BAD. understandable. :)
 Then the boys, and Suzy(only one of us girls) went in with the big boys. I didn't want to go in. As much as i love tigers, i also know their instincts. And i didn't want their instinct to kick in while i was around. :)  You can see shane is a bit nervous right here to LAY on the tiger. haha! I don't blame him.
 Peer pressure....
  Of his own free will...
 oh dear. He looks a bit more comfy here. The tigers would sleep, get up and play, sleep, get up and eat, sleep, etc.
These tigers were medium sized tigers....
 Showing his teeth to the boys.... reminding them who is boss.

 
 
 
 Later that night we ate at this yummy Thai restaurant right on the river. In the background of the pic is the river, and its kind of an open restaurant, but we have a roof above our head. They had a live singer in the restaurant. It was a fun atmosphere.
 Oh, this was at tiger kingdom. Some of our friends decided to do this. They loved it.
 That day we also went to the Sunday market streets. It was very very crowded....
 This is the Night Bazaar where we headed after sunday market. It wasn't as busy because everyone was over at the sunday market.
Here is the little tiger again trying to be playful with shane. So cute!
